Mile High United Way Turkey Trot 2026
The Mile High United Way Turkey Trot takes place on November 26, 2026 in Washington Park, Denver, with the start area at South High School, 1700 E Louisiana Ave. This gathering marks the 53rd running of the event and supports Mile High United Way programs focused on early learning, education and workforce development, and basic needs for families.
The course is an A to B route that is described as relatively flat and is 4 miles long. The 4 mile event uses professional timing and is organized into multiple start waves with limited capacity. At just under one mile, the Lil Gobbler family fun run offers a shorter option for children and families.
